SOME DYNAMIC TRUTHS FOR RAMADAN
⇨ ISLAM IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOT "EXTREME"
They say Islam is beautiful - it surely is if you consider many of the commandments involving human relationships like caring for your parents, your attitude towards your neighbours, instructions on not cutting off ties with relatives, place of women in society, the special spirit of charity for poor etc. However, there are some strict limits defined in Islam too which we have to adhere to and which are sometimes labelled as "extreme" by a Muslim who has not spent time on studying the teachings of Islam from valid sources. So be careful and don't label everything as "extreme" if you have not devoted enough time on learning Islam.
⇨ Someone who arrogantly denies an accepted truth based on Qur'an and hadith is defined as a "FAASIQ" and "FAAJIR" - On the other hand, a Believer (Momin) is humble and listens to words of wisdom voiced by teachers of Islam, in other words he or she never rejects a truth. May this Ramadan make us all turn towards Allah with sincerity and purity in hearts - Aameen.
⇨ The words "paradise" and "hell" are each repeated 77 times in Qur'an. Hence, mention of punishment in hell is as much important as rewards in paradise, We have to love ALLAH and we have to fear Him at the same time.
⇨ USE OF DIRTY & VULGAR ABUSIVE LANGUAGE FOR OTHERS LEADS TO SCORPIONS IN ONE'S GRAVE IN AFTERLIFE:
Some Muslims are very worldly educated but unfortunately they lack civic sense and basic human ethics. During discussions, they are not afraid to use dirty and vulgar abusive language to degrade others. They should know that using a single dirty abusive word makes them earn a scorpion or snake in their grave in afterlife. What is the use of all that ego and 'satisfaction' in degrading others when one will end up like this in grave? They should sincerely repent in front of ALLAH that they will never use abuse others and apologize to the concerned persons also whom they have wronged. May this Ramadan be a turning point for such people - Aameen.
⇨ AFTERLIFE, HELL, PARADISE, MUSLIMS & NON-MUSLIMS
After the truth of Islam 1400 years ago, generally speaking, a Non-Muslim who dies without embracing Islam will be admitted in hell. A Muslim who is admitted in hell but one who has not committed 'Shirk' (associating partners with Allah Almighty), will be finally taken out of hell and entered into paradise. But we should also know that Judgment Day will be 50,000 years in length, so who can bear all that suffering on that day when the sun will be so close and heat unbearable? And who can bear all the punishment in hell when we don't know how long that punishment is going to be? We have to strive for salvation in afterlife so that we will be in comfort on Judgment Day under the shade of Great throne of Almighty Allah. Our afterlife begins rights after our death. A grave is either a garden of paradise or it is a pit of hell.
